We all know what it’s like driving down the highway, in the middle of a phone conversation, only to suddenly lose service and have that call drop.

Depending on where you’re driving, no service could continue for miles in some parts of the Susquehanna Valley.

Now, PennDOT says they are submitting a proposal to market its bridges, roads and buildings to telecommunication companies like Verizon or AT&T, who could place antennas on structures to increase reception.

PennDOT would charge the companies a rental fee. The money collected would then go into the state’s infrastructure.

"In general, if you're stuck somewhere and you're in an accident, it would be good because you'll have service where you didn't before," said Leahann Moslak.

The proposal originally come from a Paoli-based site called Acquisition Services Incorporated.

If approved, the company would help locate the most desirable PennDOT-owned property for telecommunication companies to put their antennas up.

“It just so happens what we own is roadways, bridges and other things that would be desirable locations in some instances,” said Erin Waters, PennDOT spokesperson.

The proposal will be taken to a board meeting in September for possible approval. PennDOT officials say this is still in the early stages and they don’t have exact locations picked out on where the antennas could go up.

While this may seem great for your cellphone, state law enforcement on the other hand is not too thrilled about making it easier to use your phone while driving.

State Police trooper Rob Hicks says just last year, there were almost 15,000 crashes related to distracted driving in Pennsylvania. He says that resulted in 57 fatalities.

"But at this point, the law just states you can't text and drive. So if they're increasing reception and people will use the phone, even though we don't recommend it, that's something they can do," said Hicks.

"We're certainly not encouraging people to drive distracted, people should always focus on the roadway when driving," said Waters.
